"Charitable Chinese Man Feeding A Criminal In A Cangue. Ca. 1905"
"Petty criminals were sentenced to wear the canque, often for a couple of months, and display themselves in public places. At best they were humbled by dependence on others to be fed, at worst, they might starve to death. The sign on the cangue describes the man's crime."
